Black, blue, green and gold

The softwood products (NBSK) are branded in three groups called Södra black, Södra blue and Södra green. Hardwood pulp (NBHK), which is made from birch, is branded Södra gold.

We do not produce paper. Our focus is entirely on developing and delivering the best possible pulp. Whether our customers manufacture milk cartons, sandpaper or tissue, we help them find the optimum solution based on their needs and challenges. There is a large number of choices and options within all of our product groups.

Södra produces many different pulps. In fact, we offer our customers more options than any other competing pulp producer. We believe that our extensive portfolio makes it easy for our customers to fulfil a wide range of demands in various end-use areas.

Description

Södra black

Södra black is made from large numbers of juvenile spruce and pine trees removed in thinning operations. The pulp fibers are therefore thin and flexible, with an ability to form many kinds of strong bonds in the paper. Södra black also produces a paper with high density, and a smooth and even surface with an ability to form very strong Tensile, Burst and Z-strength properties in the paper . This pulp is also easy to process, which improves the energy efficiency of paper production.

Södra blue

Södra blue is made from several different types of spruce and pine. This mix of raw materials produces a pulp that is ideal for paper requiring a high Tensile strength without sacrificing Tear strength and runnability

Södra green

Södra green is mainly produced from sawmill chips of spruce and pine, which have long and strong fibres. The pulp is therefore ideal as reinforcement pulp, keeping a very high Tear at a given Tensile strength.. The pulp also helps to give paper high porosity, stiffness and bulk.

Södra gold

The raw material in Södra gold is hardwood, which has shorter fibers than softwood. The advantage of these short Birch fibres is that they combine a good formation in paper with excellent Tensile and Z-strength. In Tissue , these fibres will also create a very soft sheet.
